The Knicks’ music picks

I came across this on the Knicks website this week ahead of their opening NBA game with Miami. Check it out – they ask the squad for their favourite songs – or as they put it ‘the greatest song ever made’. Just like Monday Night Soccer, some even sing to illustrate the point.

Let me, if you will, allow me to be Simon Cowell for a moment.

First of all, the dude is dead. He was the King of Pop. I get it. But Michael Jackson is now disproportionately represented amongst basketball’s hot young talent. It’s not what he would have wanted.

Danillo Gallinari? The Jay-Z/Rihanna combo? I wasn’t waiting on that one. It’s like Ronan O’Gara going for a Wu Tang joint.

Finally, Nate ‘Kryptonite’ Robinson is the only one who came out with a bit of credit. He picked some classic hip-hop that he obviously genuinely loves. Thoughts, anyone?
